East Village Mother is a play on "East Village Other." Crumb and Shelton stories are indexed separately, with separate page counts. Credits read "by Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder." Title from Kurtman's records. Story was originally five pages, but final page was condensed into part of page four by order of Hugh Hefner, who later wished the scene had been edited further.
